Re: Charles Adams b 1711 ??? d.1771 NC

This Adams Family is a really convoluted mess.Charles and John Hobbs, Sr. were contemporaries and possibly related.They originated in fairly close proximity to each other in Virginia and ended up about eight miles apart in North Carolina.Spencer is a name common to both families and, in fact, Spencer, the grandson of Charles, Sr. married Jane, the granddaughter of John, Sr. (Jane's father was also named Spencer.)Spencer and Jane had a son, named Spencer, who is my GGGrandfather.Spencer, the son of John, was a preacher/missionary who established several mission colonies in NC, KY and ALA.He was the patriarch of the clan that moved from NC to Eastern KY and that included his brother, John Hobbs, Jr.When Spencer left KY to go to Dallas Co, Alabama, John Hobbs and his family stayed in KY.All of this information comes from my Aunt Sumner Adams Hunt, who has done considerable research on the family.Unfortunately, she is not on-line, so I garner as much from her as I can during family reunions and such, and she mails me information from time to time.We have not, though, been able to verify the connection between Charles and John, except as detailed above.Also, we have not been able to find documented evidence as to the ancestors of either Charles or John.
